Waking up the next morning, Harry didn't know if he wanted to kill Kar or thank him. He knew that the powers he could unlock would help a lot if he ended up as the chosen one of this world, but at the same time he had accused Harry of being into his sister.

Yeah, he had to admit she was beautiful, but that didn't mean he wanted more than a brother- sister relationship with her. He thought Hermione, Ginny, and Tonks were all beautiful in his past life but saw them as nothing more than family, which had been the reason why him and Ginny had broken up in his last life.

Shaking off his thoughts of strangling gods, Harry decided he wanted to see how much of a boost he had already gotten from Kar's gift. Getting up, he didn't realize that there was no change in his eyesight, smell, or hearing, meaning that he most likely wouldn't have any physical or mental boost yet either.

Walking over to one side of the room, he turned his back to the wall and got into a runner's stance. Counting down from three in his head, he pushed off as hard as he could, only to stumble over his own feet after just a few paces.

"I guess those super powers aren't going to show up all of a sudden," he said, not knowing if his ego or side was more bruised from the fall.

As he was getting ready to stand up, he saw a hole the size of his hand in the wall under his desk. Forgoing standing up, he crawled over to it, trying to see in. The inside turned out to be too dark to be able to see in, but there was only one thing he could do.

Knowing that sticking his hand in there was very stupid, especially when you think of who used to live in this room, he gathered his courage and plunged his hand in, only for nothing to happen.

"Well, that was anti-climatic," he said, while sticking his hand in farther. Feeling all around inside, he was unable find anything. As he started to pull his hand out, he felt that one of the floorboards was sticking up inside. Thinking about the lose floorboard at the Dursley's, he pried it the rest of the way up, wanting to see if there was anything there.

Sticking his hand under the now pried up floorboard, he felt something that was about the size of a bar of soap, and as cold as ice. Pulling it out, he found it to be a shrunken chest that was made of onyx, and covered in different colored runes.

Crawling back out from under his desk, he set the tiny chest in the middle of the floor. As he was pulling away, his finger grazed a red rune on the top left corner. The next thing he knew, the chest had grown to be the size of a normal chest.

Now that he could get a better look at it, he could see that it didn't have a clasp to lock the trunk; only a seam that ran around the top like it was sealed shut by magic. Figuring that since the old Harry didn't have a wand, it would be unlocked, so he tried opening it. As his skin came into contact with the trunk, he felt a sharp pain. Jerking his hand back, he saw that the trunk now had his blood on it, but instead of pouring down the side, it made its way up the side of the trunk, until it reached a purple colored rune that slowly absorbed it. When the last of the blood was gone, the trunk flashed the same purple as the rune. As the flash died away, he heard the sound the trunk unlocking.

Hoping that the trunk wouldn't hurt him again, he pushed the lid open, trying to find what the old Harry had gone to so much trouble for to hide. The inside was done in acromantula silk, but other than the lining, there were only a few pieces of parchment.

Picking them up, they turned out to be four sheets, each with their own heading and a list of items below; they were Enchanted, Cursed, Potions, and Poisons.

"Why would he hide a list of enchanted ite-," he was cut off as the inside started to glow. As he watched, three items appeared in the bottom of the trunk. Reaching in with his free hand, he picked up a robe that seemed to be made of the same material as his old invisibility cloak. When the robe had completely left the chest, one of the items vanished off the list labelled 'Enchanted'. Harry, seeing this, placed the robe back in, and watched as the words 'Invisibility Robe' showed back up.

Understanding what that meant, he read the list of enchanted items as it was by far the shortest of the four.

Invisibility Robe: Capable of being worn over other clothing without being seen. To activate enchantment, pull hood up.

Occlumency Earrings: Earrings that cause anyone trying to enter the wearer's mind excruciating pain. Two to a pair, only required to wear one to take effect.

Black Family Knife Set: Four knives passed down the Black line, each enchanted for a different uses. Red: Capable of cutting someone internally, bypassing the skin. Black: Capable of unlocking most locks. Green: Capable of absorbing and releasing any liquid. Blue: Capable of showing the holder magic around them. Stolen From: Black Family

Reading the last item on the list, he looked back inside and saw the robe, a small velvet bag, and a holding case the size of a school textbook. Figuring the knives were in the case, he pulled it out to check. Sure enough there were four knives, each a different color, but it was the black one that had Harry's eye. It was the same one that Sirius had given him in fifth year; it had been destroyed when he used it in the Department of Mysteries.

"It figures, I get him to give me a second chance, and the very next day I have to tell him I've stolen from him."

Thinking he could look through the remaining things later, he closed the trunk, making sure to keep the knife set out. He went to put some clothes on to work out in. 'If I ever want to be able to use my gifts, I'm going to need to start working on them now.'

"That smell's brilliant," said Lily, as she walked into the kitchen. Half of the house was filled with the smell of cooking. "I had no idea that you could cook."

"I didn't really give you the chance to know," replied Harry, not turning away from the pancake he was making. "Hopefully, you'll know me as well as you do Iris and Ivy."

"I'm looking forward to that," she said, as she came up behind him, placing a kiss on his temple. "What can I do to help?"

"Um... you can start some eggs if you want."

"Alright, do I make them sunny side up or..."

They continued like this, picking up where they had left off the day before, slowly making up for all their lost time. Until like the day before, the fireplace flashed green, and out stepped Lupin and Sirius.

"Hello," Sirius said in a sing song voice.

"Good morning, Lily, Harry," spoke Lupin. "How are you two this morning?"

"Fine/Ok, how about you," asked Harry and Lily at the same time.

Hearing this, the two men smiled, you could already see how close the mother and son had become in one day.

"Mom, can you watch these for a minute? There's something I have to get."

Getting her ok, Harry ran up to his room to get the knife set As he came back down he couldn't help but worry about Sirius's reaction. Just before he entered the kitchen, he stopped too try and listen to what was being said.

"-ow was your day with Harry," asked Lupin.

"It was so amazing," came Lily's excited reply. "We talked all day; I can't believe how much we have in common." She continued to ramble on about what all they had talked about and done the day before.

"I'm happy to hear that," said Sirius, before she could start again after pausing to catch her breath. "Just be sure to be careful Lil, I don't want you getting hurt."

"Sirius, he answered all our questions yesterday and sat through your tests without complaining once," she said, sounding a bit miffed. "He proved that he wants to change, and I'm not going to insult him by acting like he's going to go crazy any second. What happened to you saying you wanted to teach your godchild to be a marauder?"

Sensing an argument about to happen, he decided to make his entrance. All talking stopped in the kitchen at his arrival. Making his way over to Sirius, he could tell that he recognized what he was holding.

Stopping in front of him, he held out the case. "I said I wanted a second chance," said Harry, his voice sounding braver than he felt. "It wouldn't be much of a new start if I kept this. I know it was wrong of me to steal it, and I know saying sorry won't fix what I've done. But I really hope that by returning these that it shows you how serious I am about starting over."

As he spoke, Lily and Lupin stopped what they were doing to listen. They were proud that Harry had returned whatever it was that he had taken. However, none of them knew that James was standing just out of sight, listening in.

"I'm surprised," said a smirking Sirius. "I didn't think you would return them."

"Wait... you knew I took them?"

"No, but I figured it was you who had taken them, and after yesterday I thought that if you had stolen them, and really meant what you said, I would be getting them back soon," he said his smirk becoming a full blown smile. "Thank you for returning them to me. It shows that you're serious about this change."

Harry was getting ready to reply, but was cut off by a voice behind him. "I'm proud of you," said James, his broad voice causing everyone to turn to the doorway he was standing in. "I wouldn't have thought that you would return something you've taken. However, doing the right thing doesn't make up for the wrong that was committed," he said, his voice gaining an edge. "You're grounded until after your birthday, and you'll not be receiving any allowance for the rest of the summer."

"Yes sir," replied Harry, knowing that his punishment could have been much worse.

"Do you understand why I'm doing this?"

"Because it's wrong to steal," stated Harry, guessing his father was trying to make a point.

"Yes, but that's not the only reason. Not only did you steal from Sirius, an old family friend, but from the Most Ancient and Noble House of Black. Doing so could have landed you in Azkaban for twenty years," said James, his piercing gaze on Harry. "Don't ever let me hear of you taking something that doesn't belong to you again. Do you understand me?"

"Yes sir."

The other occupant's watched all this thinking that James was being fair in his punishment, but that his words had a little too much of an edge to them. Lily, seeing the tension, tried to lighten the mood.

"Breakfast is ready, who's hungry?"

As they sat down and ate together, they tried to make small talk. This was harder than it normally would be, due to James's cold voice still ringing in their heads.

"Lily, this was very good," spoke James, after cleaning his plate, his voice sounding very different than it had when talking to Harry. "Did you do something different, than usually?"

Before she could say anything Sirius spoke up, "Oh, but Prongs, Lily only made the eggs. Everything else was Harry."

Hearing this, James looked to Lily to see if this was true, getting a nod from her, he turned to Harry. "This was very good Harry, thank you," his voice a little softer than it had been during their first talk that morning. "You're a very talented cook; I didn't even know you could cook."

Looking back later on, Harry couldn't tell what made him say what he did next. "That's ok, there are a lot of things I can do that you don't know about," as soon as the words left his mouth Harry wanted to kick his own ass.

Everyone at the table stopped what they were doing, and slowly turned their heads to look at him. If it hadn't been for how his father was staring at him, it would have a very funny sight.

"What exactly do you mean," asked James, his voice setting everyone on edge. "What can you do that we don't know about?"

'I really hate myself,' thought Harry. He had been thinking about telling his family about his being a Parselmouth, in case he ever needed to use it in front of them. Now however he had run his mouth and something told him that telling them he could say the alphabet backwards wouldn't satisfy his father. But maybe if he told them now they would see it as part of him coming clean, well everyone except his father, Harry was starting to think he disliked Harry more than Iris did.

"I didn't know if it would be a good idea to tell you because of my past behavior," said Harry, everyone was able to hear the strain in his voice. "I might have said something about it yesterday, but after what I told you, I was afraid it might make things worse."

"What could be so bad that you would be afraid to tell us?" asked a concerned Lupin. "Especially after everything you've already told us."

Looking around the table, he could see concerned looks from not only Lupin, but his mother and even Sirius; it seemed that giving back his property had won him over. James on the other hand looked tense, like he was waiting for Harry to tell him that he had bodies in the backyard.

Taking a deep breath, while making sure not to look anyone in the eye he told them, "I can talk to snakes."

Harry waited for the gasp and chairs scraping as they tried to get away from him, but they never came.

"That must be amazing."

His head snapped up to see that it had been his father who had said this.

"You're not mad?" asked a shocked Harry. When the school had found out back in second year, everyone including some of the professors had thought of him as some kind of dark lord in training.

"No. Why should we be?" James asked. As soon as the word left his mouth, Harry looked to the others to see intrigued looks on their faces.

"I just thought that with how I was, and me being a parselmouth, you would think I could only be dark."

"That's nonsense," said Lupin. "It's a genetic trait that only shows up in certain people. It's just unfortunate that all of the famous Parselmouths' have been on the darker side of things."

"What's it like being able to talk to them," asked Lily, fighting to keep her unspeakable side down. "It must be amazing being able to get to learn an animal's views on things."

"Would you mind showing us how it's done?" asked Sirius. He knew finding someone who could talk to snakes was rare, but finding someone who could talk to snakes without them setting one on you was like finding all four of the founders' objects in a junk store.

Nodding his head, Lily pulled out her wand and cast a silent Serpensortia, out of her wand came a stunning purple snake. Looking around as if wondering where it was, the adults in the room heard it hiss, while to Harry's ears it came out, "What is this place?"

Harry, taking this as his sign to start, replied. "It is my home, I'm sorry that we have disturbed you. I was just showing my family that I am able to speak your kind's tongue."

Those around the table watched as the young boy conversed with the serpent, all of them with feelings of awe and jealousy. Harry and the snake talked back and forward until the snake hissed something that made Harry's checks twinge with just a hint of red.

"Um... you can send him back now," said Harry, sounding a little rushed to everyone else.

Waving his wand Sirius asked, "What did it say that made you want us to get rid of it so fast?"

"All I'm going to say is that where he's from, it was mating season."

All the adults just stared at him for a minute before they all broke out laughing. Seeing this Harry scowled at them. "It's not funny," he said, trying to be heard over all of their laughing. "You try being told off by a snake, for interrupting his 'FUN TIME'."

This caused everyone to laugh even harder.

"You're all assholes you know that," said Harry, barely able to stop laughing.

It took a while for everyone to calm down but they eventually did, though Sirius still seemed to burst into giggles every few seconds.

"That was amazing Harry, thank you for sharing it with us," said Lupin.

"I wish I could talk to snakes," jumped in Lily. "Just think about what all you could do with that ability."

"What do you mean," asked Harry. "Other than being told off by most of them, I can't think of anything else to do with it."

"I'm sure there are all sorts of things you can do with it. Just off the top of my head I can think of two ways to use it. You can use it for spell casting, and if you could talk one into, you could get a snake to spy for you."

"I never would have thought of either of those," spoke Sirius, with a thoughtful look on his face. "I wonder... do you think his animagus form will be a snake?"

"That's a good question," said Lupin. "We could give him the potion before he goes off to school, and then next summer we could help him through the transformation."

"Are you sure that's such a good idea." asked Lily, she knew how hard it was to get through the transformation. "It's a very dangerous piece of magic, that most are never able to do."

"Don't worry Lily, he'll be fine," said Sirius trying to ease her worries. "I mean if Peter could do it at fifteen, then Harry can do it at twelve."

"We'll be there to help him along the way," added Lupin."You'll help to right James?"

James agreed that Harry would be more than capable of doing it; his only worry was how dangerous his form would be. He knew that the only way your power level would affect your form, was if you were extremely powerful or had the potential to become so. He had felt Harry's power during yesterday's scans, this let him know that Harry would most likely become something extremely powerful.

"We can give him the potion, before he goes off to Hogwarts," replied James, ignoring Lupin's question. "Then we can decide at a later date if he's ready for the real deal."

Hearing this, Harry was almost bouncing, wanting to know what he would become. He really hoped he would become a bird of some sort. He had always wondered what it would be like to fly without a broom, to have nothing between him and the open sky. He was about to voice this, when there was a tapping sound at the kitchen window.

Everyone looked up at the same time; sitting on the window sill was a Hogwarts owl a letter in its talons. Before anyone could say anything, Harry was dashing for the window, not knowing how much he looked like Hermione the time their OWL results had shown up. Flinging the window open so fast that he scared the owl, making it fall backwards off the window's ledge.

Ignoring the sound of snickers coming from behind him, he stood back to let the irritated bird in. Once it had landed on the table, he untied the letter, not minding when the bird bit him for his earlier offence. Opening it, he found it to be the same as the one he had received the first time, the only difference being the address.

Smiling, he looked up to see all eyes on him. All the adults were smiling at him, even James, though his was more subdued compared to the others.

"Well, I guess this means I'm going to have to go to Diagon Alley, soon huh," he asked, a smirk making its way onto his face.

"Actually, I needed to pick some stuff up today anyway," said Lily. "How about we go now?"

Before Harry could answer, Lupin cut in. "If you don't mind I'd like to come along too, I wanted to pick up a new book they have on theories for what causes lycanthropy."

"Why don't we just all go," suggested Sirius. "We can spend more time getting to know Harry. Plus I really want to see what his wand is made of."

"I can't," spoke James, sliding back into his aloof attitude towards Harry. "I have to write the report on the arrest we made yesterday."

"Why didn't you write it after we brought them in?" asked a puzzled Sirius. "Moony and I did it as soon as we got back to headquarters."

"You know me Padfoot, I can't stand paperwork," replied James. Getting up he gave Lily a kiss, and called a goodbye over his shoulder as he disappeared through the floo.

"Well then, I guess it's just the four of us," said Lily, as she waved her wand and the dishes became clean before putting themselves away. "Go get ready honey, and we'll go get your school things."

Nodding, Harry got up and gave his mother a kiss on the cheek , heading for his room. He hoped that he would be able to get Hedwig while they were there.

The fireplace in Gringotts flashed green as Harry fell out, landing in front of Sirius, who thought that Harry falling was the funniest thing he had ever seen.

"Wow, nice moves you got there," taunted Sirius. "If he gets any smoother, he'll end up breaking something."

"What can I say Sirius," replied Harry, an evil grin making its way on his face. "I have about as much chance of landing on my feet after flooing, as you do of walking by a pretty girl without trying to hump her leg."

Lily walked out if the floo to the sight of Harry and Lupin leaning against each other while laughing at the shocked face of Sirius.

"What did Sirius do," asked Lily, who couldn't help but smile at seeing the three interacting.

"Bu-but it wasn't me," whined Sirius.

"Yeah, I'm sure it wasn't," she said while rolling her eyes. "Let me guess he saw a pretty face, tried flirting and was shot down?"

Harry and Lupin, who had almost gotten over their fits of laughter, broke down again after hearing her words.

'S-something like that," Harry breathlessly said.

"When are you going to learn that not every woman on earth wants you," said Lily, with a disapproving shake of her head. "I'm going to go get some gold, try to not get anything pregnant while I'm gone, ok Sirius," and with that she walked away.

"You two are arses, you know that," pouted Sirius, turning his back on them.

When Lily returned, the three had gained control of themselves and were waiting while talking about Quidditch.

"Are you ready to go?"

"Yes," they chorused together.

"Alright let's go."

"Hey mom," said Harry getting her attention. "Would you mind if we looked at owls? I want to be able to write while at Hogwarts, and I don't want to have to wait on your owl to show up before I can send anything."

"You could use one of the school owls," she said while thinking. "But having your own owl would make things easier. After we get your things, we'll stop and look at them."

Giving her a hug he replied, "Thanks mom, I really appreciate it."

S2ndC

The group walked out of Madam Malkin's, with only three stops left, Magical Menagerie, Quality Quidditch Supplies, and Ollivander's.

"Where to next," asked Lily?

"How about Quality Quidditch Supplies, it's closest," replied Harry.

"Okay, that's fine with me, though I didn't think you liked to fly," she said, her expression full of curiosity. "Have you even used the broom we got you for Christmas?"

"I love flying, I was just being a butthead and refusing to use the broom you got me," said Harry, looking at the ground ashamed of his past self's behavior. "I plan on breaking it in as soon as I'm finished being grounded. That's why I want to go to QQS, so that I can get a servicing kit and work on it," as he finished he looked up to see others smiling at him.

"That should make James very happy," said Sirius, knowing that quidditch may be a way for Harry and James to connect with each other. "With Iris being afraid of high places, and Ivy being too young, he'll finally have someone to play against."

They walked the rest of the way in silence, each lost in their own thoughts. It didn't take long for them to reach their destination. As soon as they walked in Sirius spotted a pretty girl that was working behind the checkout counter, and made his way toward her. Lily and Lupin followed, knowing what was on his mind, trying to stop him from getting kicked out of the shop for harassment.

Chuckling at his family, Harry set off looking for a service kit like the one Hermione had gotten him during his third year for Christmas. What surprised Harry was the fact that the shop was almost completely empty, making it easier to find what he wanted.

Seeing the display for broom upkeep, he made his way over, not paying the other person that was there any mind. Trying to figure out which brand of polish he wanted, he heard the other person sigh in frustration. Turning to see who it was, his eyes widened comically.

Standing next to him was a twelve year old Cho Chang. Even though the last time he had saw her, was when she went with him and Luna to the Ravenclaw common room, which had only been two days ago, it seemed like a lifetime.

Getting a hold of himself he cleared his throat and asked her, "Are you having trouble picking a polish which would be best for your broom?"

"Yes," she said, sounding lost. "I just got a new broom but I don't know which polis-," she never finished the sentence, because at that moment she looked at the person she was talking to, only for her dark skin to take on a reddish hue. Standing next to her had to be the prettiest boy she had ever seen. He stood a couple of inches taller than her, with intense green eyes, and the most amazing red hair that fell in waves down to his shoulders.

Seeing her reaction to his appearance he couldn't help but get a crooked little smile on his face. 'This is going to be fun,' he thought to himself.

"Um, you were saying?" he asked, leaning closer to her face, making her turn even redder.

"Um.. Uh... t-the polish," she struggled to get out.

"You're looking for a polish for your new broom right," he asked, enjoying watching her act like he had around her in his first life.

She only nodded her head in response, thinking it was safer than trying to talk to him.

"Well, from what I've heard, most team sponsored brands are awful," he said while backing off a bit, hoping to hear her talk some. "But I know for a fact that the Holyhead brand is really good at standing up in bad weather. The only downside is that the polish needs reapplying more often."

Cursing herself for acting like Filch does for his cat, she tried putting together a reply, "I-I didn't know that. I think I'll try it," she said, as she started to calm down. "I haven't seen you at Hogwarts before," she stated, hoping she could learn something about him. "Where do you go to school at? I'm Cho Chang by the way."

Reaching out, he took her by the hand and placed a soft kiss against the back of it. "Where are my manners, my name is Harry James Potter. It's a pleasure to meet you Cho." Harry didn't know a thing about greetings in the wizarding world, so he was hoping that he didn't mess up.

He needn't have worried though, he could have insulted her after kissing her hand and she wouldn't have been able to tell. Realizing he had gone overboard, he waited for her to collect herself before he continued.

"This will be my first year at Hogwarts. I'm quiet excited about it," he said, seeing she was functioning again. "Do you mind if I ask what house you're in? I want to know which one to aim for," he finished, not being able to help flirting with her. Today he had found something he liked as much as flying... making girls blush, it was no wonder Sirius spent all his free time messing around with women

Hearing his words she had to fight hard to keep from burying her face in her hands. "I'm in Ravenclaw, the house for those who treasures knowledge."

Harry was about to make a comment on Ravenclaws and beauty, but was cut off by a soft Scottish voice, "Cho, who's your handsome friend here?" The two children turned to see an Asian woman who looked a great deal like an older version of Cho, the thing that scared them about her was that she had a knowing smile on her face.

Cho with a blush that never seemed to leave her face answered, "Mother this is Harry Potter. Harry this is my mother MayLin Chang."

Embarrassed at being caught flirting with her daughter, Harry deicide the best plan was to lay it on thick. "Mrs. Chang it's nice to meet you," he said as he kissed her hand. "I must say that I always believed beauty such as yours, to be like lightning, never to strike twice, but after meeting you and your daughter, I see I couldn't have been more wrong." 'I really hope she isn't going to go postal on me,' he thought, dreading her telling him off for being a pervert.

What he hadn't been expecting was for her to start giggling. "My, aren't you quite the casanova," she replied, smiling at the charm the boy was showing.

Cho, hearing what her mother was saying, thought she was going to die of embarrassment. 'Oh god, please stop talking!' she thought, wishing she could send messages with her mind, telling her mother to not say anything to bad. "Um mom shouldn't we be going? We don't want to leave daddy alone for too long, you know he'll be tempted to buy the entire book store."

Sensing her daughter's discomfort, she decides it was time to stop talking. "Of course, you're right. I better go stop him from clearing out Flourish & Blotts, hurry and buy your polish," she said, giving Cho a wink that went unnoticed by Harry. "It was nice meeting you Harry, I hope to see you again some time," she said before leaning down and kissing Harry on the cheek, making him blush.

When she was sure her mom was out of hearing range, she turned back to Harry saying, "I'm sorry about my mom, she was trying to be funny."

"It's fine, she did nothing wrong and you have nothing to apologize about," said Harry soothingly. "She seemed to be very kind."

"She is, she's just... a bit much at times," she replied, her blush finally disappearing. Harry, noticing its absence, couldn't help but feel disappointed.

A minute passed, neither of them saying anything, then she realizing that she had to go spoke in a bit of a rush, "I have to go before my mom comes back. It was really nice meeting you," she finished saying as she grabbed a Holyhead broom cleaning kit.

"Yeah, I really enjoyed our talk."

"Me too, well I'll see you around Harry," she said, as she hurried off. She had only taken a few steps before turning around her cheeks blushing as hard as they could with their color. "I really hope you get into Ravenclaw, but if you don't, I'd still like to study with you sometime." and just like that she was gone.

Reaching out for the same kit as Cho, he couldn't keep the smile off his face. "That was pretty fun, I'm going to have to look her up on the train," he said, as he turned to go pay for the kit. However, what he saw when he turned made his blood turn cold.

Standing a couple of displays away was Sirius, Lupin and Lily, all staring at him with different expressions.

Lily looked as if she couldn't believe her eyes, her baby boy had just flirted with a girl, but on top of that he was good at it. 'Oh god, he's going to be worse than James and Sirius.'

Lupin was thinking of the future owls Lily and James would be receiving about girls hexing their son, on account of him having too much... 'FUN TIME'.

The third person was by far the worst; Sirius had a smile on his face that was big even for him. His eyes were aglow with happiness, as if he had just looked into the Mirror of Erised and had been given what he saw. "Going to have to look her up on the train huh," repeated Sirius, trying to keep the joy out of his voice, but was failing miserable. "And here I thought I was the one who couldn't see a pretty girl without trying to hump her leg."

At the word 'hump', Lily let out a little squeak.

"I was planning on taking you under my wing, teaching you how to talk to a woman was one of the things I was going to show you," said Sirius. "But not only can you talk to girls a year older than you, but you can charm their mothers as well. I can honestly say I have never been prouder of anyone in my life as I am of you at this moment."

"Padfoot, you might want to stop," said Lupin in a quiet voice.

"Why's that Moony, today should celebrated, the day a legend was born. The legend of Harry Potter the Casanova of Hogwarts."

"Because I think you broke Lily," replied Lupin.

S2ndC

"Lily you should have seen your face," Sirius struggled to say through his laughter.

It had taken all three men, to get Lily out of her trance like state. When she had come round, she had been on the verge of tears and had only said, "No humping." This had set Sirius off again.

"Watch it mutt," said Lily, in a low voice. "I'll wait until you're in your dog form, Stupify you and take you to a vet to get fixed."

Needless to say, Sirius kept his mouth shut until they arrived at the Magical Menagerie.

"We're here," said Sirius, sounding as if someone had told him there would be no Christmas this year. "Are you ready to pick out an owl?"

"Yeah," replied Harry. "And I know just what I'm looking for." With that he walked in to the shop. The adults gave each other questioning looks, before they headed in after him. They had only taken a few steps into the store, when they saw Harry at the check out with a beautiful snowy owl. Walking over to him, they just caught what the person behind the counter was saying.

"I'm surprised she took to ya," said the shop worker. "She's been here for about a month now, but every time someone tries to buy her she throws a fit. It's kind of like she was waiting on you."

"She's an amazing creature," said Harry, as he scratched the owl under the beak.

"That she is," he replied.

Harry opened her cage, letting her out where she flew around the shop a couple of times, before she came to rest on his shoulder, giving him a loving nip on the ear.

Harry finished paying for everything and turned to see the others giving him weird looks.

"You guys know you don't have to look at me like that every time you see me right," he asked, with a smirk gracing his face.

"She's beautiful," Lily whispered, so as not to spook the owls around her, and a little out of awe at for her son. He seemed to really have a way with animals... and unfortunately females.

"You picked one awfully fast,' said Lupin."You sure she's the one you want?"

His words got him an offended hoot from the owl, as if to say there was no owl better than her.

"Yeah I'm sure, besides it's not like I have a choice."

"What do you mean you don't have a choice," asked a confused Sirius.

"What I mean is that there are just something's you can't fight. They're just meant to be," said Harry mysteriously. "Isn't that right girl."

None of the three understood what he meant but let it be. They could tell that the two were already close.

"Does she have a name yet?" asked Lily, as she stroked the owl's feathers.

Harry answered her in one word, "Hedwig."

"So the last thing you need is a wand," Lupin half stated, half asked.

They were standing outside the shabby shop known as Ollivanders.

"Yup," said Harry popping the p.

"Would you like me to hold Hedwig, while you go get it," asked Lupin, while looking at the owl.

"No, she can stretch her wings while we're inside," as he said this Hedwig took flight.

Sirius stepped forward and opened the door. "Well, let's get to getting." He really wanted to see Harry jump when the old man did his little appearing act.

What he didn't know was that Harry was waiting for Ollivander to try and sneak up on him. He wanted to show him that if he was to sneak up on the wrong person he could get hurt. So, waiting for his mother and Lupin to enter first, he followed after waiting for his chance.

Once they were all in the shop, all eyes seemed to be on Harry, waiting for the old man to scare him, they didn't try and stop it, knowing it was a rite of passage to be messed with before getting their wand.

"Good afternoon," came the soft voice everyone had been waiting for. What they hadn't been expecting was for Harry to spin around faster than any would have thought possible and grab Ollivander by the throat.

"You know," said Harry, in a bored tone as he let the older man go. "It's rude to sneak up on somebody, but more so it's dangers. You never know how someone will react."

Ollivander had to admit, that the young man's words had truth to them, and it didn't hurt that having him react like he did had made him almost shit himself. "I think in the future, I'll keep your words in mind," he spoke in a voice that didn't sound the least bit phased. "So, how about we get you a wand Mr. Potter."

As Ollivander walked around the counter, everyone heard Sirius whisper to Lupin, "Ok that was pretty badass," followed by a snort from Remus.

"Now Mr. Potter which is your wand arm," asked Ollivander, as he brought out an arm full of wand boxes.

"I'm right handed," stated Harry.

"Alright then, try this one it's..."

It had been over two hours and still he didn't have a wand. It seemed like a lot longer considering he knew which wand was his, but couldn't say anything without telling how he knew it was his.

"Well, I'm sorry Mr. Potter, but I don't have any more wands for you to try."

Hearing these words, Harry started to panic. 'What about my wand, could someone else have gotten it,' he thought. "Are you sure you don't have anymore," asked Harry, not having to fake the worry in his voice.

"I'm quite sure; it's been a long time since this has happened."

"What do you do when you can't find a match for someone?" asked Lupin, as he was starting to worry that they would have to leave the country to find a wand for Harry.

"Then I get to make a wand specially for them," he said, his pale eyes having a fire in them that none present had ever seen before. Reaching under the counter, he pulled out a long, thin, piece of metal roughly shaped like a wand. "I need you to wave this like a regular wand."

Taking the metal wand, Harry could feel it trying to pull his magic. Doing as he was told he gave it a wave. As he did, it glowed the same green as his eyes. Harry expected it to fade but it never did.

"And that's it," spoke Ollivander, taking the wand away from Harry. "Now I take this and study what would be the best focus for your wand and make it. After it's done I'll send it to you."

"Wait, that's it," said an irritated Sirius. "We sat here for over two hours for nothing."

"No you sat here for two hours, so that we could find which wand would be Mr. Potter's partner," Ollivander replied, his voice taking on a tone that showed that he was upset with Sirius. "And we found out that his partner has not entered this world yet. Now, if you will excuse me, I have work to do."

As they left the shop Sirius could be heard telling Harry, "I wished I had gotten the chance to choke him."

AN: Hey I'm back with Chapter 7. This time I tried to add some humor to this one. I laughed a few times writing it, but I have a weird sense of humor, so tell me how I did with it. Also how do you like me having his family liking the fact he can talk to snakes.

Next chapter we will be seeing a small bit of Harry's darker side.

The poll is closed. It was a close run between Lightning and Shadow, but in the end Lightning won.

Now I have to tell you all sorry. Last chapter I asked who should be put in the discription with Harry. I guess I messed up and made it sound like another girl was going to be added to Harry's harem, I'm sorry but the girls in the harem have been voted on and will stay that way. Beside the fun thing about this story is that none of the girls you see alot of are in his Harem. Those of you who want to see Hermione and Fleur dont worry, they have nice pairing's in the future.

Like always I love those of you who review... hell if you read this I love you, but more so when you leave me your thoughts.

Oh and Harry has to get presants for Ivy and Iris, one's birthday is only a little after his own, and he feels bad about missing the other. So what should he get them? I have a good idea for both but lets see if you can think of something better
